Istanbul:Legendary rock guitarist Slash is set to return to Istanbul after a 14-year absence for a concert next summer. The performance, part of his Flying Blind World Tour 2027, will take place on July 22, 2027, at Bonus Parkorman.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Guns N' Roses guitarist will be joined by Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. This Istanbul concert is part of a worldwide tour promoting their upcoming fifth studio album, Flying Blind, which is slated for release on February 26, 2027.

The 12-track album was primarily recorded live at Studio Barbarosa in Florida with longtime producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette. The album’s title track, "Flying Blind," was released as the first single last Friday.

Slash, born Saul Hudson, gained international fame with Guns N' Roses, known for iconic guitar solos in songs like "Sweet Child o' Mine," "November Rain," and "Paradise City." After co-founding Velvet Revolver, he began a successful collaboration with Alter Bridge vocalist Myles Kennedy, who first appeared on Slash's 2010 solo album.

Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators released their first album, Apocalyptic Love, in 2012, followed by World on Fire in 2014, Living the Dream in 2018, and 4 in 2022. The group last performed in Istanbul in 2013.
